The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 238 Target Lock

Li Zhen originally thought Hercules would describe it to him in some obscure and difficult-to-understand way with strong religious overtones.

But to my surprise, Hercules' description of the realm of the gods was not sophisticated; on the contrary, it was quite simple and easy to understand.

Li Zhen looked up and gazed at the sky of the divine realm, but clearly, apart from the blue sky and white clouds that were no different from those in the mortal world, he could not see anything else at all.

"You're saying that to Hercules, who resides in the realm of the gods, our world is like a floating bubble?"

Li Zhen stared wide-eyed, imagining a vast and boundless Hercules peering down at the world from above.

He tried to feel the weight of the gaze.

If there really was a Hercules, whose size was thousands or even tens of thousands of times larger than the entire universe, watching over this world, that gaze would be more immense to him than a condensed black hole.

The universal form that Olympus provided for the gods to descend to Earth was perhaps unimaginably powerful for ordinary people on Earth.

However, this divine universal form still cannot compare to his body after multiple evolutions, not even by one ten-thousandth.

But Li Zhen had a feeling that even if he were standing here in his own body now, after learning about the "God's Domain" that Hercules had told him, he would still be unable to sense that gaze no matter how hard he tried.

"No need to bother, it's not just a difference in size, it's a difference in dimensions."

Hercules looked at Li Zhen straining to look up at the sky and let out a deep laugh.

"The state you were in during that blessing was not a normal part of the Eternal Council's magical rituals. It was just that Atlas and I happened to sense something at that moment, and the divine realm granted you temporary power."

"Special approval?"

Li Zhen quickly caught a key word, and he finally stopped trying to look up at the sky, instead turning his gaze to Hercules.

Hercules extended his left hand and pressed his thick fingers to his lips, making a shushing gesture.

This means that the content regarding this part falls outside the scope of "can be disclosed".

Li Zhen withdrew her gaze and began to ponder carefully in her mind.

There was no reason for the divine realm to treat him so well, granting him special power at that moment. For a being living in a realm where all worlds seemed like bubbles, such special permission was simply because He needed Li Zhen to do something at that moment.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Li Zhen, and he remembered the punch he had thrown from that strange perspective, where he was almost lost in the power surge.

He definitely hit something, there's no doubt about it.

Afterwards, Li Zhen referred to it as a strange, lurking black shadow, actually because he couldn't describe that existence with the existing vocabulary.

Li Zhen felt as if she had grasped a key step in solving a certain problem.

I wasn't a die-hard, seasoned American comic book fan in my previous life, so I couldn't glean the full truth from these extremely subtle clues.

But he wasn't completely ignorant. If Hercules could just reveal a little more information to him, even just a name that sounded familiar, he would be able to understand.

Li Zhen was able to understand the truth of the matter from a perspective that Hercules could never have imagined.

After all, Hercules could never have imagined that Li Zhen would know some knowledge that she shouldn't have known (original plot/character).

The moment Li Zhen looked at Hercules with hopeful eyes, the expression of the seemingly simple-minded Hercules suddenly changed.

He glanced back at Li Zhen with a puzzled look, his usually straightforward and honest face suddenly turning cunning.

"I just received some kind of inspiration, and if I continue to tell you, it would be taboo. You seem to have the ability to deduce the truth from information that shouldn't be relevant."

?

No?

Li Zhenren was dumbfounded.

Why are all these so-called gods so mysterious?

Just thinking about it can make the other party suddenly become wary.

And isn't this guy Hercules?

Where does such a sinister authority come from in Hercules' divine power?

However, Hercules' next words made Li Zhen breathe a sigh of relief.

"Regarding the question about the realm of the gods, I can only answer one more question. And if you happen to ask about something that is taboo and cannot be answered openly, then I will remain silent, and you will not be able to obtain any more related knowledge from me."

There's only one problem: although the restrictions are somewhat severe, they're not severe enough to warrant complete silence.

Li Zhen frowned and pondered for a long time.

He couldn't directly ask if the Olympian gods had any overt enemies in the realm of the gods. If this was a game within the realm of the gods, Hercules certainly couldn't tell him directly.

After deliberating for a long time, Li Zhen read out the words she had repeatedly refined in her mind, one by one.

The knowledge imparted by Hercules has filled me with longing for the realm of the gods. Could you briefly introduce the various forces within that realm?

Hercules looked at Li Zhen with a hint of amusement, a smile playing on his lips. He remained silent for a good two or three seconds, while Li Zhen suppressed her expectation.

Then Hercules spoke.

Seventeen names were slowly uttered from Hercules' mouth, some of which were already strongly associated with Olympus and had been described in myths and legends.

Some of the names were slightly unfamiliar, while others were completely unheard of.

Throughout this time, Hercules remained absolutely calm, neither boasting when speaking of forces related to Olympus nor speaking casually of unfamiliar names like Li Zhen.

It was like an emotionless announcer, simply reciting the names of the seventeen factions that controlled the divine realm.

When Li Zhen heard the eleventh name, she finally found the answer to the second question.

To be honest, it's only because Li Zhen didn't know that thing was also in the God's Domain that she would have already set her sights on that place.

Apokolips.

It's not Apokolips in the universe, but Apokolips located in the realm of the gods.

Everything suddenly became clear. The illusion created by the unknown force using the Amozo virus was brutally swept away by Li Zhen. From this moment on, the enemy was no longer in the shadows.

Hercules suddenly let out a muffled groan.

Li Zhen watched as the big man's face turned deathly pale at a visible speed, as if he had suddenly suffered some kind of deficiency. His originally robust body began to sway, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.

Just as he was about to step forward to lend a hand, Hercules shook his head and stopped him.

He just looked at Li Zhen with a hint of resentment.

"When I was stating those seventeen names, I didn't conceal anything or make any insinuations, yet you still—how did you manage that?"

"That's not important. Maybe I just made a random guess, and then the other party got angry and attacked your true form in the realm of gods?"

Li Zhen scoffed.

"What if I'm not completely sure yet? Wouldn't He be offering his face up for me to slap?"

Hercules hunched over, kneeling on one knee with one arm hanging down, barely supporting himself on the floor.

"That guy doesn't need much reasoning, and he doesn't care how you came to suspect him. To him, the information I gave you was directly related to the failure of his plans, and that was enough for him to take action against me."

"Wait a minute! He's not going to just rush over and crush the bubble universe I'm in right now, is he?"

Although his face was still pale, Hercules had finally regained the pride that belonged only to the god of strength.

"Even I couldn't take him down in one blow, the entire Olympian pantheon wouldn't allow him to do such a thing."
